Juice of Dreams
for saxophone quartet

With an attempt to explore a brassy, jazzy timbre of saxophone, this piece depicts a dream full of delights, citrus colors, and zesty flavors. The 16th-note rhythmic pulse runs throughout the piece which varies from time to time with counterpoint, lyrical melody, and unexpected rhythmic changes. All of these characteristics guide an inexorable journey of a dream—but at the end, it shatters with a final punch.
